Politics in France.
% RENE GOBLET, @sa
THE New PRIME MINISTER.

The de EFreycinet, the strongest OF
French recent cabinets, has been over
thrown, and new one formed. This
is really, however, but sort OF coz
4innance as the new Ministry, in both
its domestic and foreign policy, VA
tread in the footsteps of their preds-
cess6rs, General Boulanger, Minister
of War, and Admiral Aube, Minister OF
Marine, two of the strongest members OF
the late Cabinet, hold portfolios IN
that Of which NJ. Goblet is the Premier.
NJ Goblet has held important Offices,
but is not regarded as statesman Of
great parts. He is a lawyer by pro-
fession. and excels as a public speaker.
His birthplace was Aire-sur-la-Lys, in
the year 1928. After completing his
preparatory course of reading, he began
practice at Amiens. he was successful,
and in the year 1S71-that year of
terrible disasters to his country-was
elected a member of the National
Assembly. In 1876 he was elected
toythe Chamber Of Deputies, and again
in 1877. Subsequently he BECAME
Minister of the Interior, and lsbsr
Minister of Public instruction. Two
notable acts in his career as q STAKES
man have been his support OF the Wal
Ion Constitution, which NJ. Gambetta
sought to revise, and, in 1858, his for
bidding the production of play by
NJ. lola, by which he incurred the
enmity of that distinguished writer. So
fierce, indeed, was Zola's resentment,
that he wrote letter abusing NJ. Cob
let, to the Figaro, in which he said that
the statesman would be known by
future generations only as ''the man
who flterdicted 'Germinal. This
is the name of the play Goblet would not
permit to be acted. Goblet has had
some experience as journalist, hay

Amiens.

his considerable experience may assist

*The circumstances and terms of thai
treaty constitute a historical curiosity
For the contamination of the treaty
and its terms, David w. Kilbourne
EsQr.. of Montreal. Iowa. (since de
ceased,) was deputed to represent the
anti Mormon party, and John Smith
Esqr., a venerable old man. and uncle
to Joseph Smith, the Mormon prophet,
represented the Mormons.
When they met, Mr.. Kilbourne pro
posed to put the terms Of the treaty into
writing, but Mr.. Smith objected, that at
the time of the conhagra.ion of the
earth, or sooner, the writing would be
burnt or otherwise destroyed: and he
wished an impartial man to be witness,
so he could give testimony in the other
world.
Mr.. Kilbourne agreed to the PROPOSE
ton of Mr.. Smith, and suggested my
name, ID. F. Miller, Esqr. } then Of Fort
Madison, Iowa, as proper witness and
to which Mr.. Smith consented.
a. few days Afterwards. on request of
Mr.. KiIbourne, I met said contracting
parties in en- upper room over store
kept in said town of Moutrose. by E.
KiIbourne, brother of said David w.
Kilbourne.
The only parties present in the room
beside myself and Messrs David W. Kill
bourne and Smith, were two Mormon
bishops, as comrades of Smith.
When the treaty of peace had been
agreed upon, and the terms stated in
the Yerslhcation above, l was specially
called upon to witness it. and Kilbourne
and Smith shook hands in affirmance of
the treaty. The treaty finished, Mr..
Smith, with his venerable and grave
aspect turned to me. and looking
earnestly in my face, said: Mr.. Nil
Ter, now summon you as witness to
the judgment day of the world to come
and If the Normons violate the treaty,
you will there testify against us; and if
the anti Mormons violate its terms, 1
will there call on you to testify against
them"
he then with his comrade bishops
shook farewell hands with me and Mr..
Kilbourne, and without saying any
thing more, departed. That was in
1872.

How the Middle Is Looked AT by Disinter-
ested Outsiders.
Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
There is trouble out Indianapolis way about
the Hendricks monument; and as it is kind OF
trouble that is very common in similar connec-
ions. and as an important principle is involved,
it is worth alluding to with some degree of par
ticularity. sculptor by the name of Parks ar
rived in Indianapolis o few days ago with a
Bile bust of Mr.. Hendricks, which he claims
was made with the understanding that it should
be accepted il it YVES satisfactory to the Hem
bricks monument committee The story is
that all the members OF the monu-
ment committee who have seen the
bust declare that IL is all that could be desired;
but that when il was submitted to Mrs. Hem
bricks she declared that it was beautiful piece
of marble, land doubtless q work OF art but,
after looking at it in all its lights she could not
see Mr.. Hsndrieks's expression. What Mrs.
Hendricks missed is probably tho happy domes-
tic smile of her departed Misunderstanding
which, we make bold to say, should not be re-
produced in a monument even though 1t might
be rspro6ucible out Of the imagination of the
sculptor. However, this is neither here nor
tur embodied in Mrs. Hendricks observation
that we are concerned with. The idea that
picture q statue is doubtless work of art"
because the paint and canvas are superior, or the
marble without bleniish, did not occur for the
first time to the widow of the late Vice-presi-
dent. It Is an idea that 10 very apt to crop out
aud when it is coupled with demand for the
customary expression Of the dear departed, it
means hard lines for the poor-devil of artist
concerned In this particular instance the alb
sepce Of the happy domestic smile of Mr.. Hend-
ricks secured the rejection of Mr.. Parks's work,
notwithstanding that the marble was beautiful,
and the bust therefore, doubtless work of art.
The committeeman will have none of it. ana
protest that they never had any
intention of accepting Mr.. Parks's work and
his design for q monuments, except whom they
were entered for competition. The
as it now stands, is not without parallel In
deed it is paralleled far too often for the credit
of the people who enter such enterprises.
Monumental and other committees are
altogether too fond Of invoking the competition
of artists in terms of ambiguity; while artists
are much too prone to engage IN large iahors
without being fortified with cast-iron contracts.
A cast-iron contract is especially important in
conr ection with such matters for she reason
that the ordinary citizen, who IS fair enough In
his ordinary dealings is apt to lose both his wit
and his conscience when he comes 10 deal with
matters artistic. The very general impression
is that when an artist executes an order he does
it subject to approval. even whom the approval
is Of the illogical and ignorant sort involved in
the notion that bust suit from fawiess piece
of marble is necessarily work of art
